I can see it in your far away eyes I can hear it in your lonely sighs I know you're looking for the shoreline In your mind Somewhere the waves are crashing in It's hard when two people want different things But I'd like to help you find that shoreline In your mind All I want is to see you smile Surely there's a way We can both be happy Oh my darling You know I'm a city boy at heart You're a mermaid in an ocean dark But maybe it's everywhere that we are Where we are All I want is to see you smile Surely there's a way We can both be happy I know my darling I can see it in your far away eyes I can hear it in your lonely sighs I know you're looking for the shoreline In your mind I'd love to help you find that shoreline In our time
